Beetlejuice monitors your source code repository and triggers a build whenever the source code changes. It sends an email whenever the build fails. This ensures a controlled build process that provides rapid feedback whenever there is a problem. The more your developers integrate the code the better. Beetlejuice makes this a safe and easy process.

Gump is Apache’s continuous integration tool. It is written in python and fully supports Apache Ant, Apache Maven and other build tools. Gump is unique in that it builds and compiles software against the latest development versions of those projects. This allows gump to detect potentially incompatible changes to that software just a few hours after those changes are checked into the version control system. Notifications are sent to the project team as soon as such a change is detected, referencing more detailed reports available online.

This small plugin allows you to export project settings to an Ant build file. It adds a new export filter item (File -> Export -> Ant Buildfile) and a context menu item called "eclipse2ant" to the Package Explorer context menu.
Test-AutoBuild is a Perl framework automating the building of a project’s complete software stack on a pristine system from the high level applications, through the libraries and right down to the smallest part of the toolchain.

iCompile makes the reasonable assumption that you want to compile all C++ files in the current directory into a single executable whose name matches the directory name. It analyzes your code and then, like an experienced Unix programmer, executes the compiler and linker with just the right options.
For Linux and MacOS X.

Hippo.NET is a tool for streamlining the build process of .NET projects in a team envirionment. It provides continuous integration by monitoring the shared Visual SourceSafe database and starting the build process when changes are detected. An important design goal is to provide a nice and easy-to-use user interface, to monitor builds and trigger the build process when needed.

The XRadar is an open extensible code analysis framework and report tool currently supporting all Java based systems. The XML/XSL batch-processing framework produces HTML/SVG reports of the systems current state and the development over time. It gets results from several brilliant open source projects and a couple of in house grown projects and presents the results as massive unified html/svg reports. The architecture is based on java, xml and xsl. Presently it only supports Java, but there are plans to produce plug ins for other leading languages.

JasperReports is a powerful open source Java reporting tool that has the ability to deliver rich content onto the screen, to the printer or into PDF, HTML, XLS, CSV and XML files.
It is entirely written in Java and can be used in a variety of Java enabled applications, including J2EE or Web applications, to generate dynamic content.
Its main purpose is to help creating page-oriented, ready to print documents in a simple and flexible manner.

NDoc generates class library documentation from .NET assemblies and the XML documentation files generated by the C# compiler (or with an add-on tool for VB.NET).
NDoc uses pluggable documenters to generate documentation in several different formats, including the MSDN-style HTML Help format (.chm), the Visual Studio .NET Help format (HTML Help 2), and MSDN-online style web pages.

Maven is a Java project management and project comprehension tool.
It is based on the concept of a project object model (POM) in that all the artifacts produced by Maven are a result of consulting a well defined model for your project. Builds, documentation, source metrics, and source cross-references are all controlled by your POM.
Maven provides Unit test reports including coverage, Change logs, Cross referenced sources, Source metrics, Dependency list, Software Development References, Software Development Process Documentation.

jeanda stands for "Java Efficiency and Agility Analysis". It is a set of ant tasks and supporting Java code which are intended to be inserted into project builds. When inserted, it compares the .class files in the build fileset with previous builds, with the help of BCEL.
It is intended to be fast, relatively space efficient, and non-intrusive – if successful in these respects, then it will not inhibit project builds. And, as long as it does not hinder project builds, then it has the capability to provide useful raw experimental data from a variety of Java development projects.
